Hello,   Early this morning I wondered whether there was a Message Board which was for  New England research, in general.     I just went and searched for a Board which is about .New England,  and only came up with 2.    One is this one,  which is for discussing the  New England Historic Genealogical Society.     I didn't realize that existed.   http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.organizations.nehgs/mb.ashx   I didn't realize the other one existed, either.     It is for discussing the Native Americans in New England.   http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.ethnic.natam.intertribal.newengland/mb.ashx   If you search for a Mailing List for New England,  you will find many of them, including:   http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/usa/misc/misc.html#NEW-ENG-GEN   http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/other/Ethnic-Native/NEW-ENG-NATAM.html   http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/surname/n/new-england-irish.html#NEW-ENGLAND-IRISH   www.rootsweb.com   And, something mentioned in the description of the  New-Eng-Gen  List is a reminder to go to:   http://www.usgenweb.org/   ...    I have found out that it is a little harder to start up a new Message Board,  than for starting up a new Mailing List.      But, I wonder if other researchers think that a Board for - New England research, in general,  would benefit us.           (I do know that there are many researchers on-line who do not like to participate on the Mailing Lists,  so only participate on the Message Boards.)   Betty             (near Lowell, MA)   (on Lists for 10 yrs.;   now an Admin for 9 Lists,  and 2 Boards, including ones for  New-England-Memories and NewEngland-Societies, and I suggested one for New England Railroads)     (The 2 Boards I started up were to go along with my List for  CAN-USA-Migration)
